Bad Batch Tech x GNReader: Flying Lessons

A/N: Howdy everyone, so I've been wanting to do a Tech fic since I first saw episode one of the new series. Now I will admit I haven't seen season 7 of clone wars, I'm actually only up to season 3, so I'm a little scared if I've messed anything up; but I'm sure you'll tell me! Hopefully, I'll get more confident in writing for these characters, until then, enjoy!

Bad Batch Tech x GNReader

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You had been with the batch for a few months now, growing accustomed to their way of living. And by that, you meant you were used to the fact that everything was usually dirty and or broken. You were the teams medic, after a few complaints from certain members in the group saying that their stand-in medic was useless, they shipped them out and sent you as their replacement. You had never worked for such a fun and chaotic team before, but you loved it nevertheless.

You had gotten along well with almost every member of the team, joking around with Wreaker, sharing stories with Hunter and Echo, teaching Omega about life on other planets and sharing spouts of wisdom with Tech. You loved spending time with the cloned genius the most though, if you were being honest with yourself. The way he thought so lowly of himself gave you a challenge to change that attitude, it was a slow process but it was definitely working.

You could often be found just mindlessly talking to Tech while he worked on repairs or just fiddling with files on his datapad, he would hum and nod when needed; satisfied that he didn't have to put too much effort into the conversation and instead just work. You didn't mind when he did that, knowing it wasn't coming from a place of rudeness but rather wanting to get the job done.

You had been begging Tech for a while to let you drive his precious ship, he had fussed at first, stating that the ship wasn't 'his baby' and that you didn't have the proper training to fly said ship. But that didn't stop you from bugging him until he eventually gave, you liked to think it was because of your amazing personality and not because Hunter told him to do so.

Anyway, the idea of wanting to fly the ship came to you one night when you caught Hunter behind the 'wheel'. You had asked him if he could show you a few moves, he flung his hands in the air in an act of surrender, claiming he shouldn't be the one to teach you.

"You'll pick up some bad habits from me," he said, an awkward smile on his lips, "You know who you should ask?" he mused, stepping from the pilots seat and towards the Havoc Maraude's entrance. "Who?" you questioned back, although you felt in your bones that you already knew the answer. And that's when you had been bothering the self-appointed genius for a week straight, just begging him to teach you how to fly the ship.

When he sulked into your quarters one day with a moppy frown, you beamed up at him knowing what this meant. "Fine, I'll teach you how to fly the ship," he huffed out, watching you stand from your cot and squeal like a youngling. "On a few conditions, of course." he crept out, adjusting the yellow-tinted goggles on his face. Your form deflated in disappointment, "Rules? C'mon, Tech, why can't I just press a button and go!"

"If that's how you think flying works then this may take longer than I had initially planned, follow me and we'll start with the datapads." he turned his back to you and began to leave the room, his foot stepping past the door. "Datapads? Tech, for makers sake, I'm not going to learn how to fly by readin' some dumb rules, I need to feel the engine rumble under me, feel the tiny meteors hit the outer shell." you begged, moving over to him.

"If you're being serious about flying this ship, or any ship for that matter, then you need to have the proper training. Now since you aren't a clone like the rest of us, that training isn't pre-programmed into your memory drive. Therefore, you need to be taught manually, and if that means reading datapads, then I'm afraid you're going to have to do it."
